Choose from 6 flexible plan options designed for couples, individuals, and families.

After that, shipping is just $10.99/week — your meals are billed separately based on the recipes and plan size you pick.
Select Your Plan
All plans include: Fresh, pre-portioned ingredients | Easy-to-follow recipe cards | A rotating menu you choose from each week | First box shipping FREE
A quick note on servings: A "2-person" plan means each meal serves 2 people — so 3 meals a week gives you 6 servings. A "4-person" plan means each meal serves 4, for 12 servings a week.
